Connect Hanoi, Hue and Hoi An through three different heritage themes, allowing travel time.
Hanoi
Two or three days for the city and a selected museum or citadel, including arrival.
Hue
Give the citadel and tombs separate blocks rather than attempting every complex.
Hoi An
Finish with the Ancient Town’s trading heritage and a buffer before departure from your confirmed airport.
Adapt the itinerary
This is an editorial allocation of time, not a booked tour or operator timetable. Count arrival and departure separately from full sightseeing days. Verify transport connections before paying; respond to warnings and closures by changing the programme rather than bypassing restrictions.
